As long as Billy Donovan is here , we’ll fall short That being said, I’m not totally ready to give up on AK

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

Donovan is mediocre coach. AK is an idiot

[@chasinggreatness42]

Big facts about Billy!!!!

[@jigglynorris2559]

Thank you for saving me time and summing up this press conference in 5 minutes.

[@SupaNatural28]

Lmaooooooo NOW IT'S THE TIME. IT'S BEEN TIME. The fact that he read word for word of a written statement tells you ALOT. I wouldn't put it past Michael Reinsdorf to write that statement & made him go out there and read it. Son, AK's basketball roster building is on DUMB DUMB DITTY.

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

Because he is an idiot

[@laruncetaylor6461]

It is encouraging to see that change will come, excited about prospective new players, and a new outlook. Hopefully this offseason will yield some interesting deals & moves. Thanks for another great vid, my brother, honestly a little relieved the season is over. Shut it down, regroup and git'er done!!

[@thehappyhermit01]

No one foresaw Zo being out over 2 years. That injury derailed everything. He almost had no choice but to see what happened after that. For that roster, Zo was irreplaceable. Who was available at the time to fill the role he provided? Just a very unfortunate set of circumstances that threw a monkey wrench into what appeared to be a very good roster that AK assembled. It's easy, in hindsight, to look back and say he should have done something sooner. I have faith he'll do what needs to be done to get the next roster set up for success. Go Bulls!

[@iremainunimpressed1589]

excuses plenty could have and should have been doen.. and teams that want to win... do it

[@12temp]

It wasn’t hindsight. The team wasn’t beating quality opponents during that run and gained their reputation off the backs of regularly beating lottery teams. We need to stop pretending we were contenders just because we were the 1 seed for a few weeks ago

[@thehappyhermit01]

@@iremainunimpressed1589 R u the founding member of the instant gratification club?

[@HaveGunWillTravel-zo3nl]

Still, that was a long time ago. If 1 person affects your roster that much, it wasn't built right to begin with. This team is a bunch of role players. Period. Vuc gotta go. He's just not athletic enough to play center for us. Bad shooting, bad rim protector and can't catch lobs. Coby is cool but he is more of a 2nd or 3rd option...not 1st.

[@chasinggreatness42]

If Erik Spoelstra was our hc I'm almost sure we would be a better team than we are now. Miami has a very good player development system. Spoelstra not only put his team in a position to succeed but he knows how to get the best out of whoever he puts on that floor.

[@thebigone6071]

Dude finally getting the message my g. I finna believe it when I see it tho!!! You still goated fam!!!! Pow pow pow 💥 💥🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🐐🐐🐐💥💯👍🏿

[@igorbukovy4313]

I think that it was right to give this team 1 more season and now it is right to make changes.

[@Johnnydhee]

I mean I’ll be completely honest, if I was AK and I dropped a massive bag to get a bunch of win now players Id probably also see how it plays out before calling it a failure. I think a couple years is enough time to know that, and I’m excited to see what they do in the offseason this year.

[@PeteNguyen8]

I love this channel your the best and great video

[@Curbs_]

Can we please get a real center

[@Anthony.682]

I’ll believe it when I see it

[@fenmoods]

They were able make a good roster but got derailed by injuries. Took them too long to accept that, but hopefully this time they actually do something. It’s gonna be hard, as you pointed out, but at least they’ve accepted defeat and hopefully are now moving to the right direction.

[@CyleJackson-ny9tp]

I won’t believe anything AK say until he prove it

[@ditongilani]

do everything to get clingan in the draft and focus a rebuild on a coby-clingan duo

[@lagonza]

We need to get rid of Billy donavan...

[@sixtieskid062]

Need to get rid of AK and ME.

[@chizzyxv3408]

They lucky I wasn't a reporter cuz I would've made Ak feel stupid 😭 Me: "so Ak what made you think 3rd time's a charm? Were you satisfied with a play-in appearance? Did you feel "competitive?" Ak: naw I think it's time for a change Me: really? When did you figure this out?

[@sonja4164]

😂😂😂😂

[@KentonIGuess]

I think Billy needs to be the first to go

[@HaveGunWillTravel-zo3nl]

Yeah his play calling sucks. Its almost like he lets them freestyle out there while he sits and chews bubblegum all game. Thibbs would be standing and yelling plays. That's a main reason for the poor performance. Simple pick and rolls and iso DeMar...that's the bulls playbook. Predictable by all 29 teams.

[@douglol19]

Listen man at this point I just want to Lonzo play.

[@uslander]

Yessss!!!

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

Ar your Shure? Be careful with your wishes.

[@charlesallen9483]

The General Manager needs to stop believing in the Coach continuity schemes and take the team back and get control over the problems the team having

[@pdub271]

I agree, this did seem different because let’s be honest the Bulls are stuck right now. We aren’t gonna be able to really move anyone so we are probably gonna just run this Same team back

[@Volantredx]

"A couple years too late" is an odd statement considering this core has been together for only three years. A couple years ago would have been literally the first year of the new roster.

[@goatmode7317]

A lot of people knew from the beginning we wouldn’t be able to win a title, especially once lonzo got hurt

[@iremainunimpressed1589]

after year 1 it was obviously bad.. after year 2 there was 0 hope.. i didnt even watch this year.. Gross

[@Joseph21459]

We will see what happens

[@Adog00]

AK actually saying something sensible?

[@rcvillapando]

Gosh it took forever

[@darylpryde]

If they retain Donovan, nothing will happen.. It is on coaching!

[@mcsmith35]

I'll believe it when I see it though, actions speak louder than words.

[@nikkowins]

The only reason he finally saying it ain’t gon work is cuz he knows Demar ain’t coming back

[@erickjerland1281]

The Bulls need to improve on there 3 point shooting. There not a great 3 point shooting team.

[@frankdobs]

cause everyone hurt is a 3 point shooter

[@antoinemallett1948]

Lmmfao 😂😂😂 that's the least of their issues

[@mansalireza]

I felt like he was sincere about making changes. I'm just worried these changes won't be substantial.

[@Iowaallday]

Hey where can I watch the press conference at ?

[@christopherdonofrio9997]

I honestly think the front office and owner has jus been biding their time to get lonzo and Zack Back to play together because when they played together they were the best in east and I really belive that they thought everyone would come back eventually and play together and be that same team again so they just been maintaining to see that team again except the problem is they can’t keep anyone on court pwill lost another season Zack lost another season Julian Phillips lost end of season Caruso hurt half of year and lonzo hasn’t played since Jan 2021 so that right there shows the mind set of ownership they don’t care about winning and once they spent that money on lonzo vuc demar and Caruso they were gunna stay pat and play out their contracts basically and we see the outcome of those devisions

[@thomascollins3131]

This is just doublespeak for "we're not signing Demar, we're trading Vooch, and Zach, and letting Pat walk"

[@arkdff8407]

ngl i think AK was right by not having a drastic change this season cuz we might not see the development of our young players like Coby and Ayo is having right now. Now that it's clear that we actually have good young building blocks, let's hope we see the real changes in the next offseason (still gonna be doubtful if we're gonna be great as long as billy is still our coach)

[@joaopedrooliveira590]

I would say it is clear the Bulls will make changes to the roster but they are not tanking, so I believe they will try and make some trades, but not for picks but maybe another star or depth. I won't try to guess who they might be targeting or get rid off, but whenever everything is set and done, we may see some different faces, but the we won't see a roster spending change, so I doubt we will see a different reality for the Bulls next season. Unless we get really lucky in the draft... Having said this, instead of a big 3, I would prefer only two stars and get a few more solid rotation pieces.

[@YesterdayGentleman]

Bro hopefully we can make some needed changes because I’m tired of being 🚮 our season went how it went all year all the way to the play in , lack of consistency! Bad coaching!! We outplayed Atlanta 😊 than a few moments later 😂without jimmy terry and a few others we get blew off the court our season in nutshell

[@polarkeef]

If we got another continuity press conference I was gonna be done with this bulls regime

[@jeffreyeung]

I was thinking I dare you say continuity one more time I dare you. Even tho he didn't but action speaks louder than words, let's see what happens in the off season Please make firing Billy donavan one thing to do PLEASE

[@fermanzanares3410]

If the bulls would have had zach lavine playing this game would have been different

[@maco34576]

no sideburns is crazy ngl

[@juanacosta4328]

Obviously the players are to blame, but the biggest reason for our losing percentage and inability to get into the playoffs is because of Billy Donovan. The game against Miami, for the play in, perfectly exemplified his inability to go against elite coaches like Erik Speolstra. There is absolutely no excuse for us to lose against a Miami heat team without butler.

[@albertblakemore4881]

I won’t believe a word that they said because it’s the same thing every time when they put some action behind what they say and yes I mean ACTION then I maybe start thinking different but until then good riddance to this Bulls season and let’s get ready for a repeat for next season

[@atsk3281]

thing is, 2024 is tricky to do big changes, but AKME should but Bulls to a situation where they can do it at 2025 or 2026 summer. Lonzo will be on his final contract year, no point to trade him now if you have to add a pick(s) or player(s) to get it done. DeMar, if the money is right, resign him other wise good luck DeMar.

[@threedashes___]

Change yes as long as we keep Caruso

[@antoinemallett1948]

LoL that's what you think 😂😂😂😂

[@bdc2320]

We need a new owner. Someone who will go into the luxury tax.

[@BUTT-HEAD666]

I won't believe anything AK says until he actually makes the necessary changes Bulls fans have had enough of this crap from this team

[@Belden_7]

Color me shocked

[@user-hh1en6iv5r]

They have to find a way to make it work with Zach or we need to clay Thomas.. Vuch needs to go workout w the dream. Then worry about everything else

[@lilbfrom094princeton8]

He knew this just like everybody else but now everybody is on the hot seat. Playing everybody die fools especially in Chicago doesn’t end well in the city.

[@franckyrichemond4164]

Demar outplayed his contact for the chicago bulls but he also 3 years older can't give him a big contact two years 40 mil top

[@jeromewalters1916]

It would have worked if Lonzo was around.

[@silver33]

If Ben Simmons can be traded, we should be able to trade our players.

[@alanchristian95]

Giving Lavigne that crazy contract and passing on Halliburton is all on Arturas …. not being ready to play is the coaches fault… ownership should step in and replace them

[@Irishcags72]

Jerry needs to go before Sox or bulls do anything ever again

Naw son, he’ll die before he sells

[@chicagomrs2270]

DD CW AC AD and maybe JG.. Everyone else is expendabull

[@werideatdusk]

Billy is staying. Zach is getting traded. I think they extend DeMar and Pat for 2 years.

[@deensfinestable]

Trade Pat Williams he was never worth the 4th overall Pick

[@rickDArula]

@@deensfinestableI’m about ready to give up on him , I think he still has potential but I may be wrong I’m talking about pat Williams

[@deensfinestable]

@@rickDArulaI’am done with Pat Williams they should have traded that 4th overall pick for a proving player

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

Yes, he still has the potential to wake up someday.

[@franklinscarlett9698]

I dont think they are going to do anything. Why trade Levine???? This team needs scorers. Maybe the problem was not him maybe the problem is Coby was not a point guard yet and Ayo had not played will and PWill inconsistent. Demarr needs to come back provides leadership on the team. One thing that needs to happen they need to give Sanogo some playing time, Phillips more time, Terry more etc etc........next year can they do better. Possible but wait and see.

[@PhilM4]

We could have traded Lavine to the Pistons to unload his contract. Complete missed opportunity.

[@balthorpayne]

Lavine opted for surgery literally just before they could do it. That was on him.

[@dremadethisbeat5985]

Basically they about to be dumb again but also they might do some of these players that work hard a favor demar probably won’t be bck Green as well Billy will still be the coach smh

[@arteksta1943]

Fire Billy D

[@davidthomas6768]

no its the same crap. No his job might be on the line NOW

[@JulianWilson-ze1bw]

What was the main part of this????

[@billmarcondesmachado280]

First, BD must go. Get a new coach. Zach, Vuce, DeRozan and PW must be traded. That's the beginning of a plan for 2025.

[@natelove187]

The Bulls have a bad Coach. I'm surprised he still there. Nothing wrong with the players

[@gmactmac]

change the coach!!!!!!!!!!

[@riveysworld2442]

The bulls have a good roster.... we need to get rid of Billy Donovan

[@nickeh8083]

AK traded Lauri Markkanen.

[@jesussamurai8433]

Idk I’ve been seeing they still endorse Billy, and want to keep Demar, we are totally running this back with maybe the exception of Zach. Which is still another dead season. Cleaning this mess up is going to years.

[@shawswervoo]

Garpax: Nobody is worse than us!!!!! AKME: Hold my beer🍺

[@jigglynorris2559]

I still think Garpax is miles and miles worse given the amount of time they had to make something happen but as of right now AKME is on the same trajectory

[@knection1986]

I love how the organization that wouldn't hire development coaches is being put on a pedestal because ppl are salty at AK...please keep the hyperbole down

[@balthorpayne]

@@knection1986 This is a fcking fact. I'm disappointed in AKME sitting on this squad, but folks act real dense. No development, firing Thibs, Trading Jimmy, fighting a coach, the Cam Payne trade package, Jim Boylan...like come on. Unless people have only just started watching the Bulls, they have NO idea how much BS GarPax put us through. And most of the things I listed were literally just in the last few years of their regime. There is waaaaaaaaay more.

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

The problem is all changes going to be made by same idiots.

[@Xxxomar880]

you start first with ownership need go way sell team

[@lowdownshowdown3631]

If Lavine come back healthy and put up big numbers again, some desperate team like the Knicks will take him. Also it's time to trade Williams!!

[@sammysam2615]

I lost trust in this front office. They need to prove it now. Let's be honest, as long as Jerry is the owner, we're just going to continue to get Gar/Pax reboot after reboot.

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

They are much, much worse

[@davepullen6879]

Vooch and Zach have contracts that are ridiculous. Never should have been done. AK has destroyed the future of the franchise. I was shocked when he blindly signed them two!

[@ArmyLT09]

I think this means DeRozan and PW won’t be back.

[@jamesgeary4630]

Drop Sleepy Patrick Williams & Demar. Sign a younger better 3pt shooter & defender Pascal Siakam. Unfortunately, your stuck w Ball next yr & Lavine bad attitude & contract. Only possible destination for Lavine is if Lakers are desperate & drop us Reeves & another crappy 1 yr contract

[@sirronvid730]

Billy need to go

[@taurus5865]

He still looks like fake GM in combo with ME, like dead fishes in the water.. Get new coach first,then new starting center, new PF with size 6'8-6'9, 2 shooters for bench,but god damn it, get some winners,get some high IQ players..

[@drewgadbois]

“We need to make changes”, will probably throw Ayo or Coby in a trade package mark my words

[@rickDArula]

Typical, those are the guys we should keep

[@SBGamer30]

Until I see actual evidence on the topic of change from him, I don’t care. He’s lying until proven otherwise.

[@rexsmith9074]

I don't buy it. Period. Why would I? AK is just now figuring out he needs change? Dude has been stubborn the whole time. He offered NO actual steps. Don't fall for this.

[@TheBehnny]

Get rid of everyone except Coby, Ayo, and Caruso

[@OlinKreutzRules]

Jerry has to sell. I’m sick and tired of the Bulls being bad and the White Sox being nothing short of embarrassing. Enough is enough. Time the hit him in his wallet.

[@MrFrank-zc2qv]

Granted the lonzo ball injury was unexpected but it part of the game but not doing enough to make this team better than showed is unacceptable this gm needs to put is money we're is mouth is and start making the right decision for this team so many teams around the league have gotten way better and the bulls continue to stay bad there no excuse for that im a long time bulls fan and can not root for this team the way they have been enough is enough we has fans deserve a competitive team year after year season of the season regardless of injury

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

Unexpected? Why it was very much expected by the rest of the league?

[@antoinemallett1948]

Zach ain't the problem, Vooch is trash

[@antoinemallett1948]

Why do you think Denver been doing so good since AK left. He's a trash GM, hired a trash coach and traded your future for a trash center! This organization is trash

[@sergeybezzubov6274]

You are absolutely right!

[@Boobiebeardown]

He knows we are not going to be top 4 in East so he told us Demar won’t be signed again

[@rickDArula]

I just read we’re offering him a contract. Maybe it’s false but a 2 yr 40 mil
